Hello All,
I have SE Stock ICS 4.0.4 ... I want to install CWM Recovery ... Please guide ???
Regards
Anyone CWM for Stock 4.0.4 ???
Anyone ??? Jjdoctor ???
Tried installing Xperia CWM Auto-Installer on ST18i
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489
2) Install CWM Recovery
Again if you have CWM Recovery installed then you dont need to do this step
If not then just download the Application
Now download 'Xperia CWM Auto-installer' by pvyParts to install CWM recovery..
Installed on ST18i ... "ST18i" not supported by this software
Locked or unlocked bootloader?
If locked look here
Boot Loader
My Boot Loader is Unlocked, I unlocked it from SE Website ... but Flashtool can Re-Lock it ... So should i Re-Lock the Boot Loader and go for CWM ???
I don't think flashtools have relocked your bootloader, however it can leave the root on your phone if you upgrade to 4.0.4.
If you follow the guide in the thread that i've linked you can root again and install CWM
I just installed on stock 4.0.4 using the SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8 few hours back. worked perfectly.
please do some searching/googling for your basic question... :sigh:
FTR: you can look at my sig

Hi all senior xda-developers XD
I'm new on Android.
I'm using SE Xperia Neo running GingerBread 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62 with unlocked bootloader without root.
I try to installing Cyanogen 7 on my Neo but it always failed just reboot, reboot, reboot and reboot..
I have follow the wiki on the Cyanogen site when installing it, i try it 2 times and got the same result so i relock the BL and back to original stock firmware
Can someone tell me what's going wrong? or should i root it first before installing Cyanogen?
Have you flashed kernel with fast boot yes
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
No, because i don't know how to flash kernel and it is not on the Cyanogen installation wiki.
So, i need to flash the kernel first?

Here you go!Follow those step and you get cm7
So, "flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)" this step is called flash kernel?
I've done it.. It said extract the CM7 packed and place the boot.img file on the same folder with Fastboot then run the command.
I just forgot whether i have wipe the data or not XD
Btw sorry for my english..
Anyway i read this:
" Hi all
Am a newbie in android things n just read here n there for info bout rooting
So i have a few things to clear out if some1 can help me sort out
1: Do i have to root my se neo if i wana put cm7 ?
2: Does rooting mean i can delete useless apps (not added ones nor dwnloaded ones) frm the firmware so that i can free rams in ma fone?
thx 4 reply
Hello
1.yes you need to root and unlock boot loader to use cm7
2.yes,after rooting using file manager like Root explorer you can delete unwanted apps aka bloatware"
So, if he true. I need to root my Neo first before installing CM7 on my Neo?

You need ONLY UNLOCK bootloader. Thats all.

So ur phone is stuck at Sony Ericsson logo...!!
Actually if u want to install custom or custom kernel then u need to have a boot-loader unlocked !!
did u read this from hybrom thread??
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

1.first install stock rom and kernel from flashtool
link for stock rom and kernel : here
2.then u need to unlock your boot-loader through official way
link: here
here u will get a unlock code, then u have to use that code to unlock bootloader via flashtool and preserve unlock code for future use!!
3.after unlocking bootloader then u have to flash custom kernel then custom rom.
you can go here for further details..

just extract files and
1.Connect your device using usb data cable
2.Enable USB Debugging on device
3.install-cwm2.cmd for Xperia Mini / MiniPro / Active / Live With Walkman
4.Follow on screen instruction
but it requires root.

Thanks mate.. just a question .. should i upgrade to ICS using SEUS? i was initially under the impression that u cannot root your phone is it is in ICS, thats the reason why i chose to downgrade it to GB first.

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
THIS is a collection of roms + kernels + guides + scripts. You may need it

a) Which device do you use?
b) Is your device rooted?
c) Which ROM do you want to install?
